<h2>SHA-1, SHA-256, MD5</h2>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1">SHA-1</a> and
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2">SHA-256</a> are popular
cryptographic message digests. They can be used to detect accidental
corruption, intentional modification, and can be used as unique identifiers for
a file. The chance of there existing multiple files with the same hash is
effectively zero due to random chance; the chance of somebody having
intentionally created files with the same hash depends on the strength of the
hash function.
<p><b>SHA-256</b> is considered "strong" today and used in new software.

<p><b>SHA-1</b> has shown weaknesses, but is used widely in data archiving software.

<br><br>
<p><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5">MD5</a></b> is an older but still
commonly used checksum. It was originally designed in 1992 to be
cryptographically secure, but is no longer considered secure in that context.
It is still perfectly adequate for detecting accidental file corruption.
